Hydro Flask exhibit at the 2019 Gift & Homeware Fair, printed on Beaver Board by Soar.
Owned by Compendium Limited, ‘Hydro Flask’ will soon be on everyone’s lips. These long-life stainless steel flasks keep things hot or cold, helping New Zealanders move away from single-use containers.
The secret of Hydro Flask is double-walled insulated stainless steel. It’ll keep your water frosty or your coffee hot – you can even enjoy a warm lunch when you’re out hiking for the day. And if you’re into craft beer, owning a Hydro Flask Growler is the way to go – you can call into your local brewer for a refill, avoiding single-use cans and bottles.
Soar Print’s proud to be helping this start-up get going in New Zealand. We’ve been printing packaging labels and inserts for Hydro Flask, as well as large format display boards for tradeshows. Caitlin Lopes da Silva, brand manager at Compendium Limited, found Soar’s input really helpful.
“We’re a family-owned and run business that was started by my dad and brother. Now it’s managed by my brother and I, and we’re trying to do everything as environmentally responsible as possible - sustainability is at the core of our brand. Soar has helped us make good choices about printing, including using Beaver Board for trade show displays at this year’s Gift & Homeware Fair.
”Beaver Board is a paper-based corflute alternative that works perfectly with Soar’s new large format digital printers. It has excellent rigidity, which means it doesn’t have to be as thick as corflute to do a great signage or display job.
Soar also printed ‘thank you’ cards that are inserted with the flasks before they are dispatched to customers. And when Compendium were having a problem with products getting damaged during distribution, we pointed them towards recyclable Kraft packaging that protects the flasks while they’re being transported.
“It’s great to work with a printer who shares our values and is good at solving problems,” says Caitlin. “Getting started in the New Zealand market has been easier with their help.”
